Researchers discover film footage from World War II that turns out to be a lost documentary shot by Alfred Hitchcock and Sidney Bernstein in 1945 about German concentration camps.
This stuff is heart-stopping, and absolutely compelling, and to review it as a film is obviously meaningless and borderline distasteful.
The footage – discoveries made by the Allies in the liberated Nazi camps during 1945 – is graphic, terrible, unforgettable.
As startling and bleakly compelling as you'd expect from this rare combination of director and subject.
This is a shocking and moving account of how the Bernstein documentary was shot, edited and shelved.
We wouldn't watch it again but we're glad we watched it once.
It exposes once again the obscenity of Holocaust denial. This is an extraordinary record. But be warned. Once seen, these images cannot be unseen.
André Singer has produced a worthy companion piece to Sidney Bernstein’s 1945 footage of the German concentration camps.
The content is harrowing, but also crucial.
